It's just some Russian gamer asking why he can't buy XCOM, Steam moderator tells him he can't buy the game because he's Russian, spouts some bull about MAH PUTIN, and locks the thread.
It's a shame; I like Steam as a platform but, man, they've let their forums go to absolute shit. Steam moderators are the biggest trolls and bad faith actors on the platform. It would honestly be much better with no moderation at all, with how these fuckers continually behave, across all subforums.
Also, fuck 2K Games and Take-Two Interactive. Continually pushing anti-consumer bullshit, and now banning Russians and the like too.
AEO is now a bot and is just doing word searches. Faggot, Retard, tranny are now getting auto removed by AEO and users getting warnings and bans. Its fucked.
We had the comment "Elliot is confused about a lot of things" (referring to Elliot Page whatever the fuck she calls herself) and that got removed by AEO and the user banned.Two users banned for one saying "your point was retarded" and the other replying was "no its not retarded if you can't read"
The shit is getting so soft these days. The site is fucked.

Oh, right before they got me for things they wouldn't even reveal, they were serially nuking innocuous comments for simply saying 'mental illness'. Even those that did not violate the secret rule (= troons cannot be mentally ill). Not sure if we were targeted on that one, or if it was universal.

I guess that after ugly and mentally ill, confused is also something that 'transgenders' cannot be.
A long time ago, Bane said something like: these words are not banned, KiA2 is just too stupid to know the actual rules. I hoped he was right. Unfortunately, seems like it's now being broadened.
Without a law guaranteeing free speech online, there is no hope for anything.
Literally got permanent ban for saying tranny. The message I received was some blanket hate speech nonsense. I guess I just never considered the word hateful. I was commenting on the story of that mentally ill instacart driver who ran over the old couple's groceries because of their police-support yard sign.

It is difficult to have a forum that isn't a shitty experience for new users without some moderation. The regulars have a blocklist against disruption that a new account doesnt.
Maybe someday there will be some kind "web of trust" AI that everyone will run that will eliminate the need for human mods but that doesn't appear to exist yet.

All Jannies Are Cringe. The future of the internet needs to be that mods only exist to delete spam and blatantly off topic posts and thats it.
Like Reddit, eh?
You should see the bullshit now.

To think Spez was supposed to be the adult in the room after they got rid of Chairman Pao. Never allow a tranny fucker to run a company. Just don't.

We are now getting comments that we have already removed being actioned by AEO and users copping warnings and bans.
So even us removing it isn't stopping the users from getting banned.

Anti evil operations.
Its the admin group that does all the speech policing on the site
What is this 'buy games'?

Whatever happened to lurk 2 years before posting? That's all you need for new users to acclimate themselves
